Abstract:

From ancient times, humankind has used self-created traditional methods for handling the illnesses and continues to use them along with modern medicine. Even today, more than 70% of the world’s population still depends on the complementary and alternative systems of medicine (CAM). The objective of this study is to create awareness of health hazards with the use of CAM therapies and to find out its utility among Pakistani population. Comprehensive questionnaire was developed for the study on the use of CAM and was distributed to 470 patients/attendants in different hospitals of Lahore as well as major hospitals and clinical setups in the peripheral regions of Lahore, Pakistan. Over all, the response rate of the study was 81.7% while 78.1 % population found as CAM user. The most common type of alternative medicine used by patients is from Hakeem (Natural Therapist) which is about 17% and the most frequent disease for which patients often go for CAM therapy is liver diseases (19%). Respondents found inclined towards CAM only due to its marketed false benefits and not because of their dissatisfaction with conventional therapy. Conclusions: A noteworthy population of Pakistan is using CAM therapies from different practitioners, irrespective of any education and awareness about their disease and long-term drawbacks because of improper treatment of the disease. Though adverse events due to the use of CAM therapy are not unusual still a delay in the proper treatment usually ends up in serious consequences and even loss of lives.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to explore the practice of alternative medicine as an experience capable of modifying the very perception of the body and body feeling, based in a two-field research in France (Paris) and Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). In this research, the resort to alternative medicines was considered as urban practice and a possible response to emotional needs, beyond the curative specificities of these medicines. The two countries were chosen for their supposed complementarity concerning the perception of spirituality and therefore, the perception of holistic health concepts. The study relies on an inductive approach and a qualitative methodology: introspective interviews with consumers and professionals, as well as participant observations. After a review of the theoretical aspects on the subject — concepts related to health, alternative medicine, transformative experience —, empirical results are presented. They show that the experience of alternative medicine tends to modify body perception, understood as how individuals define their own body. It also tends to modify body internal feeling, literally how people feel their body. The second conclusion that can be drawn from our study is that, beyond cultural specificities, some similarities appear in the way the practice of alternative medicine impacts on body perception and individual values. In that sense, alternative medicine practices in big urban centers appear to be related to a global consumer culture. However, alternative health behaviors rely on a subjective quest of sense which can be expressed through a variety of practices related to better health, not necessarily involving consumption.

Abstract:

23 Background: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in patients with cancer has increased. A patient’s decision to seek CAM alongside conventional cancer treatment is complex. We evaluated whether patients who sought CAM were also more likely to engage in other healthy behaviours such as exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol reduction, and maintaining a healthy weight. Methods: As part of a larger survey of cancer survivors, 551 cancer patients across Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Canada) were queried on clinico-demographic information, their use of CAM and other health-related behaviors (smoking, alcohol use, healthy weight, etc.). Multivariable logistic regression assessed each health behavior, adjusting for clinical factors associated with CAM use. Results: Females: 53%; median age: 54 years; Caucasian: 83%. Primary tumor sites: breast/gynecologic 22%; gastrointestinal/genitourinary 28%; hematologic 23%; lung/head and neck 12%. Following their cancer diagnosis, 43% used CAM. Being female (odds ratio=2.55, 95% CI [1.8-3.7], having higher education (2.08 [1.4-3.1]) or higher income (1.80 [1.2-2.7]), and having breast/gynaecological cancers (vs. all others; 2.82 [1.8-4.3]) were associated with greater CAM use. These factors served as adjustment variables for the analysis of behaviors. Behaviors associated with increased use of CAM included: use of CAM prior to diagnosis (10.6 [6.5-17.2]), participation in support groups (3.39 [2.1-5.6]), not being overweight or obese one year prior to diagnosis (1.82 [1.2-2.7]), and meeting Canadian physical activity guidelines either before diagnosis (1.80 [1.2-2.8]) or currently (1.70 [1.0-2.8]). No association was observed between CAM use and smoking status or cessation, alcohol intake or reduction, self-described diet habits prior to cancer diagnosis or dietary changes after diagnosis. Conclusions: Some behaviors such as baseline and current physical activity, participation in support groups, not being overweight, and prior use of CAM were each associated with greater CAM use. Smoking, alcohol and diet were not associated with CAM use. Improved understanding of the reasons for CAM use can an improve patient-physician communication, decision-making, and treatment planning.

Abstract:

Although use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widespread, the underlying reasons patients choose CAM are not clearly understood. Several explanatory models have been suggested, including desire for personal control, compatibility with holistic beliefs, and dissatisfaction with conventional care. Methods: The relationship between CAM use and health functional status, desire for personal control over health, holistic beliefs, spirituality, and patient satisfaction were assessed in a mailed survey of 230 family practice outpatients using validated, multi-item measures. Patients with osteoarthritis, depression, or both were compared to healthy patients. Results: Holistic health beliefs, higher spirituality scores, and lower health functional status were predictive of more CAM use. Personal control over health and satisfaction with physicians were not. Conclusion: Patients use CAM when it is consistent with their worldview and conventional care is not relieving their symptoms.

Abstract:

Objetivo: presentar, mediante el análisis de la literatura, el avance de la integración de la medicina alternativa y complementaria en la prestación de servicios de salud en Colombia y que corresponde a la tendencia mundial en este sentido, lo cual es coherente con la “Estrategia de la OMS 2002-2005” que comprende cuatro objetivos: 1) integrar la Medicina Tradicional y la Medicina Alternativa y Complementaria; 2) promover la seguridad, eficacia y calidad de la MT/MAC; 3) aumentar la disponibilidad y asequibilidad de la MT/MAC con énfasis en las poblaciones más pobres, y 4) fomentar el uso terapéutico sólido de la MT/MAC por parte de consumidores y proveedores. Método: estudio descriptivo basado en artículos encontrados en las bases de datos Scielo, Bireme, Medline y Pubmed para evaluar la integración de la MAC en los servicios de salud en Colombia, Argentina, Brasil y México. Resultados: el uso de las MAC se ha hecho frecuente en el mundo. Pacientes, médicos y otros profesionales de la salud las consideran como opción para utilizarlas como tratamiento complementario o como otra forma de tratar a sus pacientes. Conclusión: un modelo de atención en salud que incluya las MAC puede traer ventajas sobre la humanización de la atención, costos de los medicamentos y uso de servicios de alta complejidad. Es necesario realizar trabajos tendentes a evaluar esta inclusión y desarrollar espacios académicos y de formación en este campo.

Abstract:

Physicians have struggled to defeat alternative medicine, and to obtain a monopoly over the health care of their patients, since physicians began systematically organizing in the United States. They claim to oppose alternative medicine because it lacks efficacy, may waste precious health care dollars and may harm patients. Part II of this Article examines the ongoing debate about alternative medicine and the arguments that may wedge the door of Western medicine open to alternative treatment methods. Alternative medicine's successful entry into Western practice depends on convincing conventional medicine of the efficacy of alternative treatments, a task that remains largely undone. Part III explains why the debate about unproven alternative therapies differs from previous discussions about human research, and therefore merits independent consideration. Part IV argues that it is not ethically appropriate for physicians to offer or agree to provide alternative therapies whose efficacy remain unproven or are of dubious potential.

Abstract:

Integrated Medicine Management (IMM) is an all-encompassing healthcare approach that merges conventional Western medicine with complementary and alternative therapies. The primary objective of IMM is to address the underlying causes of illnesses and promote overall health and wellness of patients. As the utilization of complementary and alternative therapies becomes increasingly prevalent, the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe and effective integration of these therapies into conventional healthcare systems is growing rapidly. Regulatory framework of IMM varies between countries, considering the facts that each country has its own unique approach to manage the integration of complementary and alternative therapies. In this article, we aim to explore the regulatory frameworks for IMM in four major markets, i.e. the United States (US), European Union (EU), Japan, and China. In the US, IMM regulation is centralized among different Federal agencies, however states have varying degrees of oversight. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating dietary supplements and herbal products, while state medical boards oversee the practice of alternative medicine. Additionally, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) provides research and education on complementary and alternative therapies. Conversely, the regulation of IMM is more centralized in EU, where the European Medicines Agency (EMA) oversees the approval of herbal and homeopathic medicines, and the European Commission provides guidelines for the use of complementary and alternative therapies in healthcare. In Japan, the regulation of IMM is tightly controlled by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), which approves traditional herbal medicines and acupuncture needles, and mandates practitioners to be licensed. China recognizes traditional medicine alongside with Western medicine. The State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM) oversees the regulation of traditional medicine and promotes its integration with Western medicine.

Abstract:

Background: Herbal medicines are gaining a greater degree of popularity as complementary and alternative medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, there is a lack of data concerning the rationale for and factors influencing their use. Methods: A cross-sectional community-based online study involving 1,621 participants was conducted to explore the effects of magical health beliefs, holistic health beliefs, knowledge, and pro- complementary alternative medicine (CAM) attitudes on herbal medicine use in the Indonesian population. Results: Logistic regression findings showed that knowledge about herbal medicines was independently and positively associated with herbal medicine use to a greater extent than herbal medicine non-use (adjusted odds ratio; AOR = 1.20; 95% confidence interval; CI = 1.16 to 1.24). The participants who used herbal medicines had a greater magical health belief score than herbal medicine non-users, with AOR = 1.03 and 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.06. Moreover, holistic health beliefs and pro-CAM attitudes were also found to be independently associated with herbal medicine use. Conclusion: These findings alert nurses to assess the roles of magical health beliefs, holistic health belief, knowledge, and attitudes toward herbal medicine use.

The participants who used herbal medicines had a greater magical health belief score than herbal medicine non-users, with AOR = 1.03 and 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.06. Moreover, holistic health beliefs and pro-CAM attitudes were also found to be independently associated with herbal medicine use. Conclusion: Magical health beliefs, holistic health belief, knowledge, and attitudes are key factor in determining the herbal medicine use. Our findings offer crucial implications for health policymakers to encourage the use of herbal medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Herbal medicine and health food supplements have become increasingly popular. However, many of these pharmacologically active compounds remain poorly understood. Patients with chronic and life-threatening conditions often use alternative therapies while receiving conventional medical care, and this population is at increased risk for complications and adverse drug interactions due to poor health and complex drug regimens. Patients awaiting or who had received solid organ transplants were surveyed about their use of herbal medicines and health food supplements. Twenty percent of respondents acknowledged experience with these products, which they used to prolong the function of a failing organ or to obtain relief from fatigue and insomnia. Transplant staff often were unaware of their patients' use of these treatments, despite patients' claims to the contrary. The potential for unexpected drug interactions, toxicity, and other adverse reactions resulting from the use of herbal medicines or supplements must be recognized and identified by transplant teams.
